Do You Have An Unrealistic Dream?
If you don’t have one, get one–Quick!
I got interviewed again.
A number of times, in fact.
This time, the questions were focused on dreaming big dreams.
So I’m putting together a bunch of questions and answers from these interviews. I know they will inspire you. And make you laugh at the same time. Because of so many interviews, giving crazy answers keeps me sane.
Enjoy!
Q: How many brothers and sisters do you have?
Bo: I have 5 older sisters. I’m the only boy.
Q: Your father must have been very happy when you were born.
Bo: When I was born, my father almost named me Atlas. Because when he learned that I was a boy, he shouted, “At last!” I mean, after five failed attempts, yes, he was happy. I’m also the youngest of the family. Can you imagine my suffering? I was their slave. They told me to do everything for them. From answering the door to buying Coke. As a little boy, I had pet spiders. My favorite daydream had the makings of a Hollywood movie. Because of a UFO invasion, my pet spiders mutated into giant monsters. My sisters got trapped in their spiders’ web and, well, you can guess how the story ended.
Q: Describe your family today.
Bo: Today, all my sisters serve in the ministry with me. We’re a great team. Three of them work full-time in the ministry, while two help out part-time. Now, they follow what I tell them to do. Haha.
Q: Your parents?
Bo: My Dad passed away last year. My mother, at 82, continues to serve the Lord with me.
Q: And you have your own family…
Bo: Ten years ago, I married the most gorgeous girl in the galaxy, a woman named Marowe. We have two fantastic, nuclear-powered, gravity-defying boys, Benedict, age 8, and Francis, 3. We homeschool our kids and have a great time doing that—because we spend more time with them. Instead of just opening textbooks, we make them experience the world. Instead of reading a book on business, Bene operates one. Instead of studying about music, Bene performs a small concert. (Bo’s Note: Homeschooling isn’t for everyone. But you owe it to yourself to find out more about it and consider if it is for you. If you want to know more about homeschooling, click at www.catholicfilipinoacademy.com now.)
Q: What are your dreams?
Bo: I wrote all my dreams in a Dreambook. It’s a 15-page document. Let me share with you my most important dreams. Before I got married, I wrote that I want to be the greatest husband my wife can ever have. I believe in making dreams graphic, so I wrote in details. I wrote that I’d kiss my wife 7 times a day. For the past ten years now, I’ve been doing that. Even when I don’t feel like it. Haha. Seriously, I have a great marriage. Because I work hard for it. I invest my energy and time to make it a great marriage. I also wrote on that Dreambook that I’d be the greatest father my kids can ever have. I wrote there that I’d play with them everyday no matter how busy I get. And that’s what I do today.
Q: Did you ever dream of becoming a preacher?
Bo: When I was 12, I had a “daydream”. I woke up and saw myself preaching in the Araneta Coliseum in front of 20 thousand people. I don’t know if it was a dream, a daydream, or a vision. Because I liked what I saw and I continued to imagine this. By age 16, I preached in the Araneta Coliseum for the first time.
Q: What were your other dreams?
Bo: My mission in life is to communicate God’s Love. And I do this primarily by being a preacher and writer. In my Dreambook, I wrote that I’d be a bestselling author and have my own TV and Radio show. I also wrote that I would have my own ministry for the poor built on a huge place, where I would welcome the poorest of the poor. All these have taken place. God is good.
Q: Was it always easy to fulfill your dreams?
Bo: Absolutely not. Many times, I felt so discouraged. Frustrated. A few times, I even wanted to throw in the towel and give up. But all these years, I’ve never doubted my Call. I’ve always believed that God has called me to communicate His love. Why? Because He gave me the gift. And the ministry has been blessing many.
Q: How do you fulfill your dreams?
Bo: First of all, I chose the right dreams. I write big, hairy, audacious, and unrealistic dreams. In my life, I’ve realized that I accomplish my unrealistic dreams much more than my realistic ones. Let me tell you why. Unrealistic dreams shock my system and pump my heart. Unrealistic dreams force me to think creatively, demanding me to do things I’ve never done before. On the other hand, realistic dreams make me complacent. They put me to sleep.
Q: What’s the second step?
Bo: I read and pray my list of dreams everyday. I do this for both my long term and short term dreams. Like each morning, I visualize how I want that day to play out. I imagine what I want to accomplish, and what results will take place. This is my prayer. And my dreams happen. I believe in this practice so much. We don’t know how powerful we are.
Q: What’s the third step?
Bo: Once I have a dream, I create a strategy to make it happen. 100% of the time, this includes creating a dream team around me that will make it happen. And then I pursue the dream, no matter how many failures happen.
Q: Fourth step?
Bo: I spend time with people who already have achieved these same dreams. I make them my mentors. This step is crucial. Do avoid spend too much time with people who have no dreams. Or with people who don’t believe in my dreams. These are dream-killers.
Q: Who is Bo Sanchez now?
Bo: I’m a child of God. I’m a servant of the poor. I’m a husband, father, son, brother, friend, preacher, writer, leader, businessman, philanthropist, and pioneer.
Q: How do you see yourself 10 more years from now?
Bo: One of my fondest dreams is to equip our growing community with the tools necessary to help more poor people around them. Not through a charity model—because that is limited—but through the entrepreneurial model. Here’s one of my big dreams: In my lifetime, I want to raise one million micro-entrepreneurs among the poor. To gain support, I want to have one million KerygmaFamily.com members. (Note: You’re my dream team! Without you, I can’t do it. Sign up now at www.kerygmafamily.com and lets work together!)
Q: Thank you very much.
Bo: My pleasure.
That’s the end of the interview.
May I make a suggestion?
Aside from writing your dreams in your own Dreambook, write one or two dreams in the comments section below. Remember to make it unrealistic. Announce your dream to the world. Doing so will give you added motivation to achieve them.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

God Bless!
Bro Bo,
You may not know exactly how you have been (and continues to be!) a blessing to the lives of so many people but God certainly does. Receiving e-mails and printed materials from you have definitely been a source of strength during one of the most difficult times of my life. Keep dreaming bigger dreams and continue inspiring a lot more other people. Here’s praying for your continuous success.
Godspeed!
In Christ,
Jet
Hi Bo! I just had to comment on this one! Funny that you talked about having crazy wild unrealistic dream today. Just this morning (it was already 3am), I couldn’t go to sleep because I was thinking so much of what I wanted to do in my life.
See, for the past 18 1/2 years of my life I never had any ‘dreams’ of my own. I just went with whatever my parents and society told me to do. I never felt any drive, never felt any sense of fulfillment. Instead, I had so much ‘hate’ for the world and its system. I wanted to change everything bad about the world in a snap of finger but I never really thought how I would do it. I was simply filled with rage and COMPLAINT. And we all know that never does any good. Anyway, one day in my Psychopathology class, I had a ‘daydream’ just like what you had when you were 12. My dream hit me so hard I couldn’t contain myself. I grabbed my notebook, ignored the teacher completely haha, and started jotting down all I wanted to do (yes they were very unrealistic haha) in as much detail as I could possibly can. I wasn’t going to let it slip away. I felt so elated after the class I wanted to work towards my goal as soon as I could (and I am kinda working towards it now). Just like you, I don’t know if it was a dream, a daydream, or a vision but I liked what I saw. Never shall I stop imagining what I want to do for the world.
Now back to this morning. I’ve had countless of dreams/goals complete with full details (whatever you call it) ever since that day in my Psychopathology class. I was doubting how I was going to achieve all of these gigantic dreams. I was doubting even the mere possibilities of it! I thought I wouldn’t have enough time and money to splurge in such a big big big dream. And I said I also want a family, and I know I can’t have both family and all my dreams at once. I didn’t realize how boxed and narrow I was thinking until I saw your name in my inbox and read the excerpt of this post in my email. I didn’t realize what I was telling myself! I was pressuring myself to choose one over the other when I can have both! I didn’t realize how I was limiting my dreams because of the thought of lack money and time which I think is nonsense right now! I don’t need heckloads of money, I don’t need 26hrs in a day to achieve my out of this world dream. I remembered that all I needed to be successful in life and to achieve everything I want is to start small and dream big. The answer is so obvious but I had to hear (or read in this case) it out loud to completely fathom this idea (you mentioned it to me in one of your previous entries).
To cut this very very very verryyy long reply short, Bo, I want to thank you so much for slapping my cerebellum awake. My dream shall live and it shall come alive in a couple of years! And because of this entry, I’ve added another dream to my ultimate dream. You inspire me, Bo. Thank you.
God is great

Hi Bo :))
I always read your newsletter and it never failed to inspire me (i even created a separate folder for you in my Inbox….:) You know what, I always dreamed of something extraordinary or in layman’s term “out of this world”. And I can’t even find one to listen to it for they all think its beyond my reach and sooooooo unfathomable, so I love the idea of having a Dreambook at least there I could upload everything(in details)that I ever dreamed of,but not for long, cause now it will be my destiny. In Jesus Name.Amen.
Thanks for encouraging so many people.God bless!
You are indeed an inspiration. Thanks so much. Inasmuch as you have the charisma and capability to inspire millions of people, I wish “saving the planet earth” will also be one of your many dreams - putting up an organization to promote environmental awareness, giving talks on the little things each individual can do to save the earth, inviting authorities on this matter to give talks to educate everyone…..
My dreams:
1. To be the best greatest most spectacular human being towards the people in my life.
2. To own an empire of business. with lots of multi-million worth businesses and buildings.
Dear Bo,
I’ve always wanted to put up a foundation that would take care of would-be mothers who have doubts on having their children. The foundation would be mainly for the unborn children. It would be a better choice for would-be mothers instead of abortion. In the process of taking care of the mothers, they would be introduced or re-introduced to the Lord. I surrendered this dream to the Lord, it’s for Him to fulfill. I don’t know how to fulfill it, I don’t even know the details and ins-&-outs but I’ve got my sites focused on this for the Lord.
I also have photography as a hobby and my, & my son’s volunteer work for our church. I dream of being a full time photographer for a Christian organization, as my way of serving the Lord and spreading His Word and His love and making disciples for Him.
I have written the dreams and I claim Habbakuk 2:2-3 for this.
God bless you, Bo, and everyone who took time to read this. May the Lord’s favor rest upon you.
Alex
for the past 9 years, i dream that i’ll be able to marry my girlfriend, have beautiful children with her and that we’ll have a comfortable life. it looks easy for some, but in our situation it’s very hard (sorry, i don’t want to get into details). there were times i feel my girlfriend wants to give up this dream, but i don’t want it to be shattered. after all these years, i still believe God will help our dreams come true, and i’m really praying that my 9-year odyssey will come to a close soon and start to have a wonderful life with her (with the grace of God)
Two of My Dreams:
1. Earn P500,000 in 21 days (19 days to go!! =)
2. Make my dreamteam millionaires as well!
To everyone who wrote their dreams…
I BELIEVE IN YOU AND I BLESS YOU!!!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
1. Build my mother her house this year.
2. Earn 20000 more each month for my growing family.
My dream is to be a father of lots of kids (12,
I will live together with my parents and all my kids. Having a big family, living a joyful life, so that we will laugh everyday, bringing all of us to family altar everyday,involving me and my family into ministry. My house will (and must) be big enough to contain this big family, but not too big. A room will contain 2-3 people, with large living room. I also want a special room, the ceiling of which is not too high, and made of glass.. and I will be able to close and open it manually, so that I can see directly to the sky.
I also want to be a speaker who can motivate others. A humble one. Like Mother Theresa. I will work as an internet entrepreneur, so that I won’t have to go to office everyday. I will also have enough time to travel around the world. I haven’t visited Jerusalem, yet. I will visit it later before I married.
But most of all, I want to be able to live my life, forever in love with Jesus. Agape.
GBU
I remember when I was in college I met a lady friend who told me fly high so that if you fall you may fall on the trees not on the ground. From then on I dream big and 50% of it comes true. Now my dream is to be very rich and very generous not only to my family and my in-laws but also to be a philanthropist just like you as well. My wife and I are great team and I believe we can do it. We really inspired by your mission and also with GK’s Tony Meloto… we will do our part and just we said we will be very rich and very generous.
Thank you.
Oliver
my two unrealistic dreams are:
1) to be a supermom to my son and a wonderful wife to my hubby..
2) to be able to earn lots and lots of money to get my whole family to travel around the Philippines and then around the world, to financially support the education of my son from pre-school to college and to own a business that will cater to the poor people..
these will all come true, that i know and believe, in God’s time..
My dreams:
1. to gird the engineering industry into Church service, allowing more pioneers in the industry to serve the church creatively, scientifically etc..
2. to give talks in different places here in the Philippines and in other countries, allowing people to receive God’s love and continue pursuing their dreams
3. to be God’s own, overcoming hidden addictions and dwelling in His love more each day.
thank you bro. bo for that VERY inspiring vlog. Godbless! =)
My dream:
To become the most sought after doctor in the world and to be able to share God’s love with my own ministry which is through healing. I would like to go to all the places in the Philippines, each island, each province, to minister the poor sick people and to have my pictures taken.
To be fully devoted and fully loving to God. I want to bring my bestfriend back. I like to serve God through serving other people.
My Dreams:
1. I commit to pray and become a TRUE Millionaire until my financial goal of Php (secret ; >) /monthly income on Sept 2018 is fulfilled. Giving 40% to God and living on the 60%, I will reverse the tithes into 60% and live on 40% of my monthly income as soon as my target is reached. I will also be more active in my sfc/loj communities and share my blessings to the my poor brothers and sisters in Christ.
2. I commit to increase my active income starting Feb 2008 of additional Php10,000/month. (and you know what Bo, since the time I wrote this down in my Novena to God’s Love, God has given me a new job and it had increase my income to Php9,000/mo…really God is Good.) I commit to increase my passive income through my new business with my dream team. I am committed to go to Dubai by 3rdQuarter 2008 all expense paid trip from my business.
3. I am committed to develop myself in Information technology and be able to travel to different countries for IT trainings/seminars sponsored by my company for career advancement. This will also open up opportunities for me to evangelize the people in these countries and spread God’s Abundant, Overflowing Love.
For all this may God be Praised!

Hi Bro. Bo!
Thank you for making my life a lot better. If you had not given out those Novena to God’s Love booklets, I would have never written my dreams down. When I got it, I immediately wrote 7 of my dreams, but later found out that 2 of those dreams were just the same so I fused them and wrote another.
This dream I am about to write is the most unrealistic for many. Thanks to everyday reflections on this dream, I have found ways to achieve it and realize it is just 1 step away from it being impossible, which means it’s still possible.
Here it is:
Earn 1 Billion Net earnings every month of the highest currency.
I’ll just leave the details to myself
Here is another one:
While Dream #1 is underway, I shall give a part of what I get to the Lord. I will help many charitable organizations and start my own as well. It shall be one that not only gives a “fish” to people to eat, but teaches people “how to fish”.
hi!
my unrealistic dreams:
to build GK village
to build house for all my brothers and sisters and my parents.
build bridge from mindanao to bohol. crazy dream!
i will become a civil engineer not only in building structure but building lives and faith
good husband, father, brother, son, model in my family
i will help all poor
president of the philippines
My dream:
Ive always fond of writing, in our community I also leads people…that’s why, Bro. Bo is one of those people I look up to…
Well, I really am a dreamer….
I dream to travel around the world and proclaim my beliefs and God’s goodness to me.
I dream of being suuppeerr GENEROUS to others esp. education fund for less fortunate children.
I dream of becoming a writer and publish my very own book!
I also dream of going to school…specifically, Directing courses…you know, the one who directs movies…
May God will continue to nudge me to fullfill my dreams…just like Bo.
More power Bo!
Thank you, Bo, for the inspiration. And here is my dream:
I want to build and run a business that will employ, at least, 50 people. It will have the following characters:
a) People will sense that God owns it;
b) The workers will sense that they are part owners;
c) The customers will get equal, if not better, value for their money; and
d) It will be a delight to the community.
I dream of putting this business in the place where I was born and grew up so as to inspire people and help the local economy. Because I believe that there is no sense in becoming rich if the community around you continues to live poorly. They will only grow envious and lead them to think of evil things.
May God bless this dream and the dreams of all your readers. More power to you, Bo, and to everyone!
Thank you very much Bro Bo. May GOD bless more people to help this ministry and the poor in the Philippines
1. to be a millionaire to help this ministry and other ministry helping the less fortunate brothers and sisters around the globe.
2. to be a great husband, father, brother and a friend
GODBLESS. To God be the Glory forever. Thank you
Thanks Bo for your inspirational message. I’ve written my dreams in the very small dreambook (novena to God’s love) you gave me and I try to read them daily. Here are some of my dreams……
*become a godly person (not only to my loved ones but esp to “difficult” people)
*have a God-centered family of procreation (still single & waiting for God’s Best)
*have a fulfilling career that touches a lot of people (I’m an elem. guidance counselor)
*have a ministry for women, children & elderly (raise funds for them; coordinate w/ other NGOs, etc.)
*visit the Holy Land w/ my family of origin & future family of procreation
Hahahaha..Papa God never fails to surprise me through you Uncle Bo..my two greatest dreams would be:
1. To be a renowned cardiologist with a clinic specially designed for my elderly clients and yet still have time to help heal the physical afflictions of the poor, for free, with my skill and prayers c:
2. To be the greatest mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend my loved ones could ever hope for
Gid bless Uncle Bo.Love ya! c:
Hi Bo,
You did it again! Ang galing to the max!
Since I wrote my dreams in the novena booklet, three of my dreams had been realized. Two others are on the verge of being realized. But those are all realistic dreams.
So now I write my “unrealistic” dreams:
1. Publish my own book about reaching out and caring for the poor as a tangible form of worship to the Lord.
2. Having established an orphanage, I want to have at least two more orphanages, and one of them coincides with what a certain Alex wrote in this section. Hey, Alex, lets get in touch and merge our dreams together.
3. See a schoolyear where Alay is happily sending out more than a hundred scholars to colleges all over the country. By June, Alay wil have 53 - 55 scholars for sure.
4. Return to Europe with another pilgrimage with my whole family after our pilgrimage to Guadalupe in Mexico this year.
Hey, those are just starters. Let me dream some more….
God bless you Bo. I feel so blessed everytime I attend the Feast and read whatever you write.
Rey Ortega
Hi Bo!
It has been five months since I received the novena dream book! Gosh! By now, some of my dreams must have been fulfilled had I written them down and prayed over them.
Anyway, here are some of my wild dreams (for now):
- to organize a foundation for street children in our community
- to provide a home for each of my four unemployed brothers
- to be able to write an article for the kerygma (hahaha!)
- to sponsor a kerygma feast in our place (wow!)
I guess I have to start writing down my dreams, no matter how wild, crazy or unrealistic they may be.
Thanks so much Bo! May you always continue being a blessing to us!
God bless you and your family always!
aimee
Hi Bo
I think my dream is I want to have a beautiful family with my parents and have a good relationship each other, to make them have a suitable job and have a twins baby, be a teacher, have my own house and car. I really wants this to be happen but since my parents didn’t have job and i havent got kids till now and i still hoping to be a teacher until now.
GBU
i hope to be remembered.
i hope to move other people. not merely touching them, but moving them.
i wish to publish at least a book.
oh, and i want to build a toy store, ice cream parlor and a school
bo, you move people.
hi
Hi!
It’s amazing how I come across this article of yours when just this afternoon, something prompted me to stop limiting my ideas and simply start dreaming BIG - dreaming out-of-this world, gigantic, and - like the title space in my inbox indicated - UNREALISTIC - dreams. Could this be God patiently, persistently, knocking on my door, asking for me to get out of the nutshell of my mind and live out some wild, unrealistic but possible-in-the-Lord’s-name dreams?
I think it is.
First and foremost, I’d just like to thank you, for being such an inspiration. Thank you sir!
Up to now I am still reeling; still trying to get my mind around the fact that it IS possible to achieve and live out even the wildest and most unrealistic dreams. But you are a living testimony to what God can do…and what you said, “We don’t know how powerful we are” - is very empowering. Thank you so much. 
As impossible as it still is in my mind, at least I know now, for a fact, that God CAN - and moreover, God WILL - help us to reach and live out our dreams. 
…Thinking about it now, I’m getting pretty pumped up. That’s a really awesome fact.
So, here are my two most unrealistic dreams that I envision myself achieving before I pass:
1) Open a dance school.
I have such a passion for dancing… but never in my 17 years of existence have I ever had professional training. I’d like to be able to prove that even without professional training, one can still be what they want to be.
2) Uplifting the transportation system in the country.
Seriously - I want to see no more Filipinos waiting in vain for public transport that will never come. Hm, this is something I think the government is overlooking - transportation systems, especially in the South. For example, a lot of people wait for almost an hour every Monday morning for buses to Manila. I want to see change here… the Filipino people deserve more than the services they’re getting.
…Okay. Having written those, I sensed almost immediately the impossibility of such dreams.
Mr. Sanchez, thank you. I’ll just have to keep referring to this interview of yours to remind me that despite my narrow and limited mind, I will still see to it that my unrealistic and impossible dreams will come to be - because God can, God will and God says so. Oh, and you prove so, too.
Bro. Bo - I can’t tell you just how much my regular dose of Kerygma and Soulfood readings have helped me.
I’m hesitating to send this right now but I feel that I must, for whatever’s holding me back isn’t from God.
I dream that my illness will be miraculously healed.
I dream to be a well-respected and widely read writer, maybe even for plays and movies, and gain material wealth and abundance by the millions through my craft.
I dream to be instrumental in establishing a chapter of Kerygma and a satellite office of the Catholic Filipino Academy South of Manila.
I dream to be a great mother, teacher, provider and friend to my 5-year old adoptive daughter.
I dream to put up a Retreat House dedicated to St. Bernadette of Lourdes, on a 7-hectare land, surrounded by trees and full of serenity; where people can go to to be with God and experience His healing.
Holy Spirit, fill us with Your Love and continue to fuel Bro. Bo and his endeavors.
I dream of a prosperous and happy future, for me and my loved ones…lots of financial blessings, having financial freedom and free from debt…
a new house and a new life and to start moving on after the LORD took back my wife back to our heavenly home last year..
Success in all endeavors in career and business, including that of family members…
May GOD be praised thru JESUS always!!!
Hi Bro. Bo.
Your words are truely God’s gift. Life in canada is different. I do pray everyday while driving to work and I always pray my dreams (some of it if I remember my list). But most of all, I will not forget my dream to have our own beautifull MORTGAGE FREE HOME by my age of 40 yrs old. I am 37 right now and I know with God’s grace this is possible. Making our home mortgage free will create more wealth that we can give back to God through His work, 2nd, My wife will not to have to work outside and we can follow what God really want my wife to be based on His design of a Family, to take care and nurture our family and home. And most of all, so that I can have more time to serve our Lord and more time with my kids too and family too. My second dream is to be financially free. I wish to serve God full time, I do see me serving ANCOP (an arm of Gawad kalinga in international places) in the future. I do pray that God will help me to achieve my dreams and that These dreams are part of His will.
Always in Christ,
Bro. Mike
These are my dreams ….
1. To earn more than 1,000,000 pesos this year alone. (Net Income)
2. To go to the United states marry this particular guy and honeymoon in paris.
3. Own bookstores more succesful than national.
4. Own a successful multi national company.
5. Publish a book.
My dream is to have a new and comfortable house of my own, with a brand new SUV, and a new happy family life after the LORD took my wife back to the heavenly home last year…
I dream of millions in my bank account to settle all financial obligations, be debt-free, and share all my financial blessings to the needy and less-privileged, especially family members and relatives…
I dream of a very bright and happy future for all my family and loved ones…success in all business endeavors both present and future…
May JESUS be praised always and forever!!
I am 54 years old and underemployed at the moment and trying my best to put into practice all your teachings specially about gaining financial intelligence.
Considering that for more than 33 years I’ve always been an empoyee and struggling to pay my mountain of debts these are my unrealistic dreams:
1. To be totally free from credit card debts by year end 2008
2. To earn net cash income of 300,000 per month and giving 1/3 of this to KFAM; Anawim & GK
3. To earn passive income using my core gifts and talents I have not used to the fullest while being employed
4. To be the best mother / wife / sister and friend by being the best listener to all my love ones
5. To be a source of inspiration and emotional healing to people who will read my best selling book and blog entries.

2. to write best selling books that inspire people to love God and to open their eyes on how wonderful God is!!
Praise God!!!
Dear Bo,
My realistic dreams are a too many to write down and it keeps me on my toes always as I fulfill them one by one. But my unrealistic ones would solve 90% of our countries problems if you will and all the others here help dream it also….. Here goes…….
1. A half way house big enough and self sustained to process all the prisoners that comes out from our jails, specially from the National Bilibid Prison. Imagine if you make all of them honestly productive again and preachers of goodness also, jail wardens would be out of work then.
2. An honest and GOD FEARING Government Employees and Politicians to the bones, from the president down to janitors………Every one of you out there, please make this one your unrealistic dream also…….
Wouldn’t be nice to read the papers in the morning reporting about science achievements and the birds and butterflies migrating? 10% of our problems are caused by nature, like typhones, that’s God’s way of reminding us of His presence.
Thank you very much for the space Sir,
More power to you!!!!!
GOD BLESS!
Best regards,
lindy
Congratulations, Bro Bo! You’re an inspiration to all of us who are striving to fulfill our dreams. You and Prof. Randy Pausch (a computer science Prof at Carnegie Mellon University) are my inspiration … both of you have actually fulfilled your Childhood Dreams. May I suggest you read Randy Pausch’ autobiography called “The Last Lecture”… very inspiring. He has pancreatic cancer but the last lecture he gave wasn’t about dying but about “Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams.” It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles; of enabling the dreams of others; of seizing every moment (because TIME is all you have … and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything he believed … it was about living.
Thank you and God Bless you always!

Hi Bo!
Thanks for inspiring me to tell my greatest dreams. And here they are:
1. To have a Home for the Aged right here in our place in Cantigdas, Batuan, Bohol. A home where the abled can enjoy do things in farming, and gardening, hear mass in a small chapel.
2. A multi-purpose hall which can accomodate a maximum of 100 people still in the vicinity of the Home for the Aged. We don’t have a place where we can conduct seminars specially related to the spirituality of our people here. People cant affordf to go to retreat house in Panglao where its located.
3. A barrio (community) with mature spirituality citizens living, who have a personal relationship with God.
There my friends are some of my greatest dreams together with my sister. We don’t have a single centavo right now. But we have God. And we believe that if it is God’s work, then 1 or 2 years from now, we can invite you to visit the place during your tour in Bohol. See you soon!!!!!

My dreams:
1. To become Diamond in our business by Aug 2009 so i can help a lot of people and can do more significant and meaningful things in life.
2. To travel the world.
3. To become a better wife and mother.
Thank you very much and God bless you always.
bo
thanks for inspiring pipol..
my dream is to build a foundation for the poor to help the less fortunate and to save the world from sins..hehehe
Wow bigat, my dreams would be;
To be sufficiently financially stable to sustain my family needs, for my CFC family needs especially our work for the poor the Gawad Kalinga in our municipality.
To be able to travel with my family abroad or anywhere where my family can enjoy, relax, bonding.
To have my three kids fulfill their ambitions and have sucessful lives of their own, especially their studies
Peace be with you all!
I absolutely agree with what you have shared to us and thats exactly what I am doing right now and I tell you it really works. Things are pouring to me as what i have imagined them to be. One by one I know all my dreams in my novena booklet will come to reality.
For now my greatest aspiration would be to become a wife and a mother this year. Its something unrealistic for now as me and my partner hasnt plan for it yet but I really desire to be his wife this year and to be a mother. I wanted to become a mother to 4 lovely kids. That is why I wanted to start this year.
I like to become an accredited system auditor. Its unrealistic as I lack the educational qualification to become one. And whats good about it is that I started my strategy plan on how to get there. I feel that I have started my path there and soon enough I will become one.
Lastly, I would like to teach and share my knowledge and skills to others. I see myself teaching others, able to impart part of what i know to others and at the same time being a wife and mother to my husband and kids.
God bless us always.
Hola Bo! Yo te escribi alguna vez pidiendote que envies Kerygma al Ecuador y ese es mi gran sueño.
Para mi y mi futura esposa, quiero una vida llena de paz, amor y Dios. Quiero tres hijos, mi novia quiere tener gemelos identicos. No quiero una casa grande pero quiero una casa que sea un hogar para mi y mi familia.
Quiero que Ashpa sea la empresa exportadora de productos de papel reciclado mas grande de latinoamerica. Y quiero una casa en el Tibet.
Thanks Bo for inspiring me to dream unrealistic dreams.
My dream is for Ashpa to become big here in Ecuador then in whole Latin America. And while it is growing, it will never sacrifice my time with my husband.
I dream that my husband and I will be able to date each week and that we will be able to serve as a missionary couple here in LatAm (and have a honeymoon in each mission area yey!)
Help us pray for it. God bless!
Dear Bo,
My daughter Leslie is undergoing marital crisis as she just found out last March 25 that her husband is a porno and sex addict through his computer journals and videos. I bought your book ” Your past does not define the future” and sent one of the 12 books (through Sister Vita bless her!) to him and I am praying that he gets to read it. Gave also to my daughter and family members. My dreams:
1. For my daughter to see her childhood wish and dream come true to be a fulltime wife and mother (sana 3 kids, girl, girl and boy). They lost their son on Sept 29 2003, 3 months old. I hope the Lord will intervene in the civil and marriage tribunal case if the marriage is meant to be preserved by God’s will and that the cases may help jolt the husband to reality.
2. To be able to finalize the loan deal of my client Terence Daquioag on his purchase of the lot in Ayala Greenfields and for me to contribute half of the tithes to Anawim and the Kerygma family. Half to help relatives and our parish.
Amazing!!
nakakainspire,
Thanks Bro. Bo for your generousity, for always sharing your wisdom with us, you never failed to amazed me.
I just realized that a part of my unrealistic dream is now coming true.
I really want to be a faithful servant of GOD, I am a member of SFC, and my unrealistic dream before is to be closer to GOD, to have a personal relatinonship with HIM, I am sure now that I know HIM and HE knows me more, I really wanted to know HIM more.
My dream is to bring all my family members closer to GOD.
Please help me to fulfill my dream, please pray for this.
Thanks and God Bless us all.
thanks br. bo. you always inspire me.
to be debt free and to use my core gift to the max. to earm millions and share it to others in need.

thank you bro bo for continously sharing your gift.
MY UNREALISTIC WILD DREAMS:
1. To be one of the major sponsor/ benefactor of Kerygma Family (since I am now giving small, I know God will provide big for me, so that I could give more). My heart is on-fire for this ministry.
2. To franchise one of the biggest fast-food chain in the Philippines (Jollibee), I want to be rich for the glory of God. And also to be involve in real estate and build my dream apartment in 2011-I am now working for this…

My dreams:
1. own a big internet cafe/business center and a big petshop one day,
2. to be a millionaire so i can fulfill my dreams and be more equipped to help
Bro Bo,
I consider these situations as a dream-fulfilled for me to undergo within the week. May I request your prayer warriors that God will guide and help me to undertake these situations with full freedom, love, forgiveness, understanding, to wit:
1. to take the necessary steps and ways to attain the reconciliation I had always been wanted to happen between me and my sister Fe, because of her being so proud and egoistic, for the last 6 yrs now. She is an OFW and came home for her yearly 1-month vacation, and am taking the opportunity to meet her because of our elder brother’s 1st death anniversary.
2. to be more gentle, kind, generous and humble to others as I wanted to practice the Words the Lord sent me everyday. My covenant with Him is a priority, for I am a unit leader of the Handmaids of the Lord in our community. I have a sister with the same attitude of my sis Fe. Our Conference held at Subic last weekend is very successful, but I felt unsuccessful because of her. She ignored any help extended to her, from transportation to hotel accommodation from our leaders. She never joined us during the Conference, except the picture taking with our leaders. I hope that, while writing this, she may have realized something, as I plan to visit her and take the ‘one-to-one’ dialogue on Friday afternoon, after office hours.
Thank you very much Bro Bo. I owe so much your daily prayers and your Gospel Reading guides and reflections. It guided me in my household prayer meetings. God bless you and your family. eepacheco
My Dream:
1. Be able to share 50% of my earnings to the church and charity the soonest possible time
2. Build a food business- restaurant or catering. I want each employee to have the chance to buy stocks in this business and become my co-owners and not just employees. I want them to improve their lives.
I want to be a young and successful defense lawyer someday. My first salary would bring my mom to her long-lost relatives in Bicol. Everything I earn after that would be used to widen and support my advocacies (environmental sustainability and eradication of extreme poverty and hunger).
I also want to be a Nobel Peace Prize awardee. Or any BIG award for that matter. Winning that could only mean that I have done something and have lived right in my lifetime.
And if I may add, I want to meet you someday, sir. I want to shake your hand and personally thank you for inspiring me this much. See you soon. God bless.
nicely done bo…you did it again…

hi Bo,
thanks for the inspiration for dreaming the unrealistic dream, i had so many unrealistic dreams but i lack how to make these dreams came true, funny i haven’t written these dreams in my notebook, well i start today and continue to do it then. thanks a lot
My Dreams are:
To be a significant businesswoman and multi-millionaire. To be a multi-millionaire is just a second to being a significant businesswoman. I have this aching passion to CHANGE the way of recruitment in a lot of companies. My plan is to research and create a strategy that would revolutionize the Recruitment process of different companies in the WORLD!
I would initiate hiring people based on VALUES.
I would accomplish this before I turn 30 years old.
Thank again for the inspiration, Kuya Bo! Can I write 3 dreams instead? Hehe.
I dream to be a great photographer and share God’s beauty to others.
I dream to be a successful blogger and touch people’s lives and make them closer to God just as you do.
I also dream to be financially free and help others be financially free as well.
I know I still have a long way to go but I’m aiming that. I know God equipped me to become the best that I can be.
God bless and more power, Kuya Bo! Continue empowering and touching our lives.
Hello!
Let me share with you my dreams….
-to write a book
-to be a good mom
-to be a good wife someday
-to finally meet the person who will love me and willing to rebuild my unshattered dreams (family
-to become rich someday and share the blessings
-to see my daughter become successful and have her own family
Thanks and God Bless!
Keep looking at the stars where all dreams come true!
Hi kuya Bo!!
Thank you for the inspiration!
I wanted to win the lottery! LOL! Sometimes I talk to even drop a joke or two hoping He’d reconsider. I don’t need to be a multi-millionaire … just enough … say 500,000 euros that I can invest and secure as monthly pension without having to work for underqualified jobs and low meager salary.
I wanted to be my own boss — put up a restaurant or bookstore here in alemanya
I wanted to be fluent in german and learn as many languages as I can especially spanish and french
I am a frustrated artist!!! it’s such an unrealistic dream because I lack insights and chances/opportunities how to achieve it! I wanted to be a painter — a well-known painter. I imagine having my paintings displayed in galleries and doing artworks of anykinds. I imagine publishing a book and teaching art enthusiasts how to paint.
I wanted to attend a fine arts school (but its so expensive and they mostly give chances to those who are talented already its so unfair!!! I mean I thought you go to school to learn and not teach those who already know enough!)
And if I can, I really really wanted to help my parents renovate their house and pay the rest of the credit. I wanted to send them in different countries where they can enjoy and relax and have fun (after years of taking care of me, my brothers n sister)
and lastly, I wanted to build or support an already existing organization dedicated to building/improving schools in the Philippines for children who wanted to learn but never has the chance and is forced to go to work instead.
Thank you kuya Bo! Now I have to write these dreams again in my dreambook and start doing something about them. Thinking about them now….they might not be that unrealistic after all!
God bless!
Now these are MY dreams:
- I will come to america and become a licensed, full-pledged, practicing physical therapist.
- I will have a GREAT practice.
- I will earn my masters degree from a reputable school in the US.
- After earning my masters, I will then earn my doctorate in physical therapy from yet another reputable scool in the US.
- marry the most gorgeous woman in the galaxy!
- have kids that are just great!
- have a great marriage!
now those are my dreams..
unrealistic?
so what.. as Bro. Bo said the more unrealistic the more I work hard.
1. I want to be one of the best and most sought after corporate lawyer in the Philippines
2. I want to own property investments which will generate residual income. my property investments shall be in the prime locations of the country
3. I will have my own law firm
4. I will write a book about corporate laws and investments; also a book about motherhood
5. I will marry a wonderful guy, someone who likes businesses too, someone who is in love with the Lord, someone who is smart, and will shower our future family with love.
6. I will bring my family, my lola and close friends included, on a vacation in the US, a carribbean cruise, an asian cruise, and a tour all over the Philippines.
7. I will plant more than a thousand trees
8. I will send children to school; from gradeschool to college.
My Mission
1) To spread the Good News not only in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia but throuhout the world, not
only to Filipinos nut other nationalities.
2) To help the poor and the needy
3) To be financially rich
4) To be spiritually rich
5) To be physically rich
6) To be a part of the breed of millionaires
Sometimes i find people who have dreams which are unrealistic corny because i believed that we should be true to ourselves-because they are impractical so we cant really attain them . But i know this is not a good attitude and it just shows that you dont believe in yourself . So im thankful that there are people who are like you-Bro. Bo who inspires people to be not afraid of dreaming big because i realized — if you really love what you are doing and you are determined and hard working–ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
1. I want my family to experience riding an airplane .
2. I want to be a millionaire. I want to work abroad.
3. I want to experience anything–beautiful
4. I want to be a respected person
5. I want to have a happy family
6. I want to be a missionary
7. I want to help the poor and the sick–i want to ease their pains
8. To have more faith in Him. I want to be happy and contented
my dream is to represent the country abroad ,, and now ,,, wow GOD gave me an opportunity to be one of the representatives of Philippines in a study tour in JAPAN,,,,
WOW !!!
I REALLY THANK GOD for this gift …
i dream to become a sociologist and make a research regarding religion as a tool in solving societal problems.
i dream to serve God full-time out of my overwhelming love for Him.
i dream to become a visual artist and adept in playing the guitar and other musical instruments.
i dream to be the best sociology teacher in our university
i dream to be able to study a graduate degree abroad.
Hi Bro. Bo,
Thanks for this inspiring message! Yes, to dream is free, so why not dream anyway, big or small, work for it and eventually the dream will work for you! It’s what makes life going. For me, i work for a dream with God as my great Dreamer ! My life is safe in His Hands, His dreams for me are far more better than mine, for His Plans are guided by his love for me. If ever i don’t get what i wished for, it’s because, He sees it’s not good for my soul, not good for others either. He who sees the bigger picture, won’t let harm befall on me and the rest. What joy to have known, we have a loving Father Who watch our every step along life’s delicate journey.
So folks, keep on dreaming and be happy!!!
Praise God!
Thanks Bro. Bo. May our good Lord bless you and your family.

Magandang araw Bo!
Nais kong balang araw ay:
1. Makapag-aral ng bibliya at maibahagi ito sa napakaraming tao. Maging isang mahusay na guro, tagapagsalita o tagapamahagi ng katotohanan at kapayapaan ng Diyos upang sa pamamagitan ko, sila rin ay magkaroon ng inspirasyong isabuhay at ituro sa maraming tao.
2. Makapaglakbay sa ibat-ibang bansa kasama ang aking pamilya at kaibigan upang mamalas ang kagandahan ng mundo at makasalamuha ang iba’t ibang klase ng tao at mga nilikha ng Diyos.
Alam kong sa pagsulat kong ito at pagsasabi sa buong mundo ng aking naisin ay magiging KATOTOHANAN balang araw . . . katulad mo din Bo.
Maraming salamat sa inspirasyon araw araw.

One of my dreams (which is very new actually) is realistic but very difficult (but not impossible) to accomplish.
When I have kids, I want to make sure, that they and their kids in the future can still live in a healthy planet. Because I don’t know what’s gonna happen in the next decade or the next century after today…
For myself.. it’s faithfully making choices that can help conserve energy and care for mother earth. I want to become a true steward to God’s creations.
I hope my dream can be your dream to. =)

Hello Bro. Bo,
Well, what I’m going to share has been my unrealistic dream for a few years now. And this is to be able to compile my own compositions of praise and worship songs, have them arranged by the most gifted musical arrangers, to be interpreted by the best singers who have passion for loving God. I’m going to have them recorded and create my own cd. Then I will release it in the market for people to enjoy and get closer to God. Once that happened, part of my unrealistic dream is to be on the ranks of Don Moen, etc. in terms of excellence in writing Gospel music and my songs will be sang in the Churches, community gatherings, in the radio. My songs will be played side by side with “Amazing Grace” and I will win a Grammy Award for it. Then, I will have a chance to meet all my favourite composers and singers in the world . And I will give honor to God and our country. Of course, I’ll be very rich by then and I will follow your footstep of giving back to God and the poor the financial blessings that God has given me.Then, I will also discover and develop more filipino talented songwriters and singers who have passion to love God through their musical talents. Quite unrealistic but it can happen like what you said.
Thanks for the inspiration Bo and God bless!
1. My greatest dream is to be a preacher….just like Mr. Bo I am eager to communicate God’s love as well.
2. When I reach 50 years old I want to serve the Lord full time…meaning I’ll leave my family, my work , my life in general.. I’ll go to poor countries and places and I’ll offer my service in whatever ways to the needy ….but of course if my husband wants to join me it will be more fun.
3.I want to raise my kid well…you know its kinda hard nowadays
bro bo, we have the same line of thought about writing our dreams… since i was in high school i wrote down my dreams in a piece of paper and hid it under my bed.
It does work!!!
It motivated me to my make my dreams a reality.
===
here’s a few dreams i recently added,
i will work in japan, will be staying there for a couple of months, earn as much as i can and watch the cherry blossoms all around.
my dream is to have a Send a Child to School Foundation
to build a loving community where everything is shared by everyone
to put up a school of a new spirituality where students are taught that god is a loving goddess and never vindictive, that god has no gender, color, race, etc., that there is no right or wrong only what serves you perfectly to be the greatest person you can be
Dear Bro. Bo,
Thank you so much for inspiring us to dream big and achieve big things in life for the glory of the Lord.I reaaly like your idea of writing down dreams.After writing this,I will also write my unrealistic dreams in my novena and believe that God will do wonders and make all my dreams happen.With God,nothing is impossible.Here are my unrealistic dreams:
1. My lung disease will disappear and will not be a hindrance in continuing my new job( I believe God has already fulfilled this dream)
2. Our 2 daugthersand my mother who were left in the Philippines can be with us next year.
3. I can find a permanent teaching job in Canada or other country and we can migrate and live happily and peacefully there.This will happen next year.
4. I can pay all our depts within 3 months starting next month
5. I will serve the Lord in the way He wants me to serve Him.
6.My husband will continue serving the Lord no matter what the circumstances in his life are.
7. My children will grow up to be God-loving individuals.
I believe all these dreams will happen because according to John 15:7 ” If you remain in me and my words remain in you,ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.”
God Bless you always Bro. Bo.
Thank you for inspiring me ^_^
Im a seminarian, and I dream to be a good and holy priest who can communicate in an entertaining and life-changing way GOD’s love for us.
I also dream to have a foundation for abused children
Please pray for me ^_^
hi!
well… my dream now is to…. marry saemi.. shes my ex fiance… i still think abt her now…
Hello,
Thank you again for a very inspiring word. Hope I can meet or attend some of your seminars someday. Truely you are gift from god to all of us. Thanks again and God Bless youy always and your family, and also the whole community.
I also believe in dreaming BIG. My biggest dream is to PUT AN END TO POVERTY. My professor told me that I must have been reincarnated 25 times already… ha ha ha.
But I agree with you, fulfilling a dream that big seems impossible. But like what you said, in God nothing is impossible.
God called me to my work here in Mindanao. Like you, I am also aiming for that one million poor families or even more. I hope we can meet one day and join forces. I work with several other people with the same dream and an army of young men and women working in the rural areas of Mindanao who transform this dream into reality every single day.
Let’s keep on dreaming and working!
Bro. Bo,
Thank you for being one of my mentors. =) You may not know me but you’ve taught me so much in believing in myself & in Christ. No matter how hard & painful it is for me right now, I will fulfill my dream in graduating with honors.
my dreams:
1. to have a big house for my parents, give them a well off life for their remaining years
2. to travel around the philippines and around the world, especially Paris and take pictures of all those wonderful places
Thank you for the wonderful article, the reason why im still holding on is the HOPE i have in my heart to continue dreaming and that i will accomplish all my dreams.
when i was in college, my instructor at interpersonal communication asked us to make our dreambook and list 10 big dreams that we wish to achieve. i made a “dream film” (because everyone else was making a book) and unfortunately, i have lost track of what they were.
)
you were right when you said it’s easier to make an unrealistic dream happen because of the drive it gives you to make it possible. three years ago, i dreamt of working to/in korea and well…although i havent really been to that country, im actually working with a full-korean environment. it’s as if the universe conspires with you to make an impossible happen.
every new year’s eve, i make a resolution (yes, only one) and i have a year to make that happen. i guess that could also be a sort-of short-term ‘dreams’ and somehow i become a better person after that (btw, this year, i said to myself that i would focus on improving my ‘frustrated’ skill (since computer was invented) and that is in digital arts/design. sometimes it feels akward that at this age im still an amateur (compared to students nowadays who have this in their curriculum as early as grade school) but the heck, it’s my dream, not theirs!
i have another dream for myself…the next time i fall and stay in love, he has to be my mr.right (ive just read that otl book. thanks). after a series of pathetic one-sided flings, im tired! so to spare myself from another emotional torture, im gathering all the strength to keep me steady. so far, im doing ok. god is good, he is always with me. ^^
to be able to send 10 poor but deserving children to school (elementary, highschool or college, it doesn’t matter) every year and to give 1B pesos to the poor on my 70th birthday.
hi bro. bo!! mabuhay!! -^.^-
thanks for sharing your another inspiring and beautiful article..
when i was a kid i have so many dreams and two of them is to have our own house and to be a nurse coz i want to see my self wearing in an all white uniform looking very neat and smart. but sad to say kasi po til now walang natupad sa mga dreams ko kasi po my parents cannot afford to spend money for a nursing course. but i dont want to lose hope coz now i am applying to work abroad to earn enough money para po mkatulong ako magkaron kami ng sariling bahay…that even one of my biggest dreams will come true…:-)

Ei Bro Bo,
Thank you very much for another wisdom-filled newsletter. About these unrealistic dream, just this morning during my ride to work, I was ecstatic while imagining myself working in large PT/OT rehabilatation facility inside a huge hospital in the US. Me being the head of the department handling different cases from pediatrics to geriatrics and the same time evangelizing them with the word of God. Telling and sharing to all of my patients and co-workers about the happiest place on earth - The Feast, and making each and everyone of them experience God’s love, compassion and mercy. I also want to have and maintain a very healthy lifestyle with discipline in my eating and sleeping habits, be free of negative stress, learn that I cannot change imperfection instead it’s my disposition that i want to be changed and of course to lower the HBsag count slowly but surely thru KRG med so that I will be fully healed -every limb, organ and cell of my system. All in God’s grace… GOD BLESS everyone!!!
Thank you Bro Bo for your new ideas and motivation for us and inspiring us to use our God given talents.
The real dream i have in my heart, aside from the salvation of my loved ones (which is God’s desire as well):
1.) To begin a ministry or at least contribute to those who will begin one for the TAONG GRASAs and the street children taking rugby in Metro Manila initially…
2.) To create more awareness of the free support groups for the drug/chemical/alcohol dependents or any kind of addictions, and also for those who are from broken or dysfunctional families, so that they may find more support to recover.
(I have learned alot in supporting my loved one in Narcotics / Alcoholic Anonymous , and I am helped so much in Co-dependents Anonymous and counselling in CEFAM in Ateneo)
3) To create more awareness and contribute to the needs of those in jail… (most of them cannot afford to bail themselves out, so padre de pamilyas have no way to earn for their family, consequently the children are the most who suffer) - i have seen first hand how way below the standards are in our local jails due to low budget. I am talking about those who are ‘accused’ and not yet judged ‘guilty’ and still on going trials. Many of them are from provinces and cannot afford to buy soap etc unless they have relatives who visit regularly.
Brothers and Sisters, kindly include them in your intentions please. Only the Lord knows their hearts and may the Lord send more laborers to the harvest for them. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!
Thank you for letting me share

Hi Bo,
I\’ve attended several seminars you were giving with some of your dream team.
When I was a young girl around 9 or ten years old I used to day dream a lot without even realizing the awesome power it has. When I was sad and lonely I would retreat into my room and daydream about the future about the things I would like to happen to me. After daydreaming I was renewed and I feel so happy I didn\’t know why then but now I do understand. Daydreaming was literaly my refuge.
Good thing is all of the things I daydream when I was young all happened to me now. Sad thing is after I got married because my dreams manifested I am so happy and contented with my life my husband my children I, career ect, etc. forgot to dream anymore. I kinda stopped daydreaming for a long time.
Now after your seminars and the many books I\’ve read about it, I am dreaming again and I\’m 49 years old. This time my dream is when I meet God at his appointed time He will greet me with a smile, embrace me and say come child into the place I have prepared for you in my kingdom and he will wipe away all the tears in my eyes and say, the things I promised you I now deliver because you remained in me and loved me in your earthly lifetime through the people around you inspite of…………
Cheers, Cristy

You’ve been my inspiration eversince i first bought your book “How to find your one true love”. From then on I continue to buy your other books about life and God. I don’t get bored reading them maybe because of how you make things very light and i really love the humor in your books. Sometimes, i catch myself laughing alone while reading your books.
Its reallly a blessing that God sent someone like you to touch so many lives.
More power and God bless!

May greatest dream is to have a company in line with food to help lots of people and lessen jobless in our country and be one in your advocacy to help and uplift the moral of our less
fortunate brothers. May the ALMIGHTY GOD continue to bless us with his boundless blessing.

Hi Bro. Bo,
I have a simple dream for now and that is to do the best that i can in my work. I agree 101% with you that we must dream and believe in it. Honestly, i have a lot of dreams and God is so good because it has started to materialize. Bro. Bo, i think God has also His dreams for each one of us and it is a matter of trusting and believing in Him.
Thanks Bro.Bo and More power!
Hi Bo
I’ve always encountered people thanking God when their dreams come true. We always say “God is good” when we receive something that we want or dream. What if God has other plans or dreams for us. And most of the time we call those “episodes” in our lives “failures”, because they’re not what we wanted to happen or dreamt about. Maybe God is telling something to us why we encounter those failures and I guess receiving these “failures” are something that we should be thankful also. Thanked God that He “killed” my dream because He has a better dream for me.
Peace Bro
Hi BO,
My Greatest Dream is to be a well-known Architect around the world. Because I want to explore my core talent that God’s give to me. I dreaming also to have a charity school for all childrens who want to evolve their talents and personality. Because I believe to all childrens that they have special own inner talents and I want them to explore it and share it to all people in the world. Thanks and God Bless I know I can make it in God’s Will.
Thanks Bo
hi bo,
now i know that am not the only one who dreams big and eventually becomes a reality. kinda hard to pick 2 dreams but here it goes:
a. i dream of becoming a wife and mother of ***. a good role model & inspiration to my kids and a fulltime partner to my husband.
b. i dream of becoming a nurse and to work at
St. Jude Children’s Hospital. to touch and make a difference not just with the sick children but their families as well.
may all our dreams become a reality. thanks bo for the nice article
Hi Bo,
Don’t want to sound grouchy but I’ve always notice that most people always wanted to be God’s “instrument” to help other people. Most people dream of being “somebody” (e.g. CEO of a multinational company, trillionaire, president of a country, pope, most renowned preacher, etc.) so they can help the less privileged. Can’t we just dream simply and help the less privileged without being “greatly privileged”. Help others in any condition we are into. Ever heard of “messianic complex”.
Peace Bro
hi bo, thanks for reminding me to dream this was taught to us before in our community but somewhere along the way i lost it… thank you for awakening the potential in me to DREAM and live that dream…
a. i dream of becoming a supportive and loving wife to my husband and mother to my kids. To have a gentle, kind and loving husband. Emotionally mature, financially secure and love God more than he love’s himself.
b. i dream of immigrating and workign abroad and hold a normal working hours of 8-5, and having a balance between work, family, community and service. Having my own house and car and my mom to live with us.
c. and although i know we only have to write 2 dreams i am writing my third one as well: i dream of building my own prep school to help support my family and that i may be able to care for my children better.
May God continue to bless all our dreams as He turn them to reality!
Hello, Bro. Bo!
I’ve already started writing my big dreams though not with the fullest details yet because of time constraint. But they’re all so clear in my heart, and that they fill me with excitement each time i think about them or partly share them with others…
Though i failed in the bar exams i just took for the first time last year, i realize that i’m not discouraged in pursuing my dream of having a law firm of my own with advocacy and project involvements in child protection and development, among other dreams..
oh, how i pity the poor little tots of impoverished parents/families! since i work in our city social welfare office,(though im no social work graduate) i really want to help them through and through…till they are capacitated and free from their bondage. and we all know that after the paliatives of giving food assistance, etc.– to truly take them out from their miserable conditions is a COMPLICATED thing…so this dream of mine which likewise grows branches like having school for kids with holistic programs for development and at the same time encourage my renewal community to join me in my dream of providing sustainable livelihood to our members and reach out to capability building projects for the poor in our localiy….and still, i have more dreams…pls pray that the Lord will bless me by sustaining the fire within me and lead me to where He commissioned me..
thank you always, and God bless you, your, family and your community as your keep realizing your big and wonderful dreams!

I got lots of big dreams eversince… though my real big dreams that i always pray for is to become agreat wife to my husband and great mother to my children.
To add, I want to become a millionaire too so i can help more not only my family but so much so the poor.

And I continue to struggle to earn more.
Can you please advice me or tell me what should I do to realize these dreams?
Thank you so much.
Praying for you.
